It is possible. you can use socket programming and create chat application with 2+ devices. one device must act as server and others have to be client. if your want to your server to be android device and don't want have web server side it does not need an internet connection. just a access point or one mobile hotsopt is enough. but all device must be connect to same hotspot or access point.
